A Country Drive

We went to Blackwood Creek which is a rural area but there is a church there and that's about it.  We did a round trip from home back to home in the afternoon as it's not that far. Just a nice Sunday afternoons drive.  A link to another post with different scenery in the same area done in 2020.

A Blackwood Creek Post Office opened in 1884 and closed in 1974. 


Sheep and cows along the country roads in the paddocks. 



Part of Blackwood Creek, creek.  Irrigation pipes above.



Taken out the front window of the car when moving along - a typical country road.



Above are the irrigation pipes and below sheep on the dam wall.



A farm and farmland in the area of Blackwood Creek plus the name of one property on the gate. 





Coming towards where we used to live for the first 8 years of married life.  It's this road that I rode the motorbike with my uniform underneath, coat on top to go to Bracknell to look after my patients.  This time was before they had Trained Nurses to do what they do today. 



The house where we once lived for the first 8 years of our married life. Below are the tunnels where strawberries are grown.


Blackwood Creek is the area dotted within the red on the map.
